This book provides an overview of the developments and problems in the field of transnational environmental crimes and harms, one of the most profitable and fastest growing areas of international criminal activity. The contributors consider a range of issues such as: global issues in green criminology; responses to transnational environmental crimes and harms; alternative methods to combat environmental crime; and specific types of crimes and criminological research. These topics are considered from the perspectives of enforcement, deterrence, compliance and emission trading schemes.
